A few days to a few weeks later, 3.0 comes. Everyone in Heavensward is in a new time bubble.
Since I like this theory lets take it back to 2.0's beginning. We start at the 5th anniversary of The Battle of Carteneau Flats, my guess is from then to around Praetorium is around two weeks-ish (No way in hell Operation Archon was planed an executed in a matter of hours), Then with that being the longest the other patches are things that could have all been accomplished in two days at most. so Times 5 that's 10 days.

So by my estimate were about 24-30 days in, or an ingame month give or take, and then it takes about (Maybe) a week to get word back from Ishgard putting us in around the 2nd month of our adventure approaching the third by the time Heavensward ends.
